Respectful Workplace Week (RWW) is a free annual online event held each September around Labour Day. It’s a week focused on building safer, fairer, and more respectful workplaces for everyone. It’s your chance to learn, connect, and be part of the change.

RWW runs from September 2 to 5, 2025, and is organized into two parts. The RWW Forum takes place on September 3 and 4, with expert panels, talks, and interactive sessions. On September 2 and 5, we offer pre- and post-forum workshops that provide practical, in-depth training on key workplace issues.
